Ever wonder what TSA agents confiscate at airport security checkpoints now that it's common knowledge what and what isn't allowed in the wake of 9/11?You're probably thinking..."hmmm....scissors, nail clippers, toiletries not in those quart-size Ziploc bags, the occasional water gun," right?
Think again. The fine folks at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport have provided travelers with a highly educational display at the security checkpoint at the middle of the airport, the one that goes to gates A, B and C. The cases display "just a small selection" of items confiscated at the checkpoint since 9/11/01.
Sadly, my crappy camera phone does not have a zoom lens, but even from the posted picture you can tell it's a whole host of crazy stuff. There are ninja stars, a plethora of knives, several guns, nunchuks and three things that got both the guy in line in front of me and me laughing out loud -- a bullwhip, a huge ammo belt complete with exceptionally large bullets and, in the top center of the case on the right side, a hand grenade.
You just have to shake your head in complete and utter wonderment at something like this.
